5.EMS
was reported to be very busy. There were
no reports from the Fire Department or pavilion committee. Missy Siemers
reported that she had reminded these groups that they need to get their budgets
in as this information is needed for the town budget.

6.Ward
1 representative Dick Schuh gave a summary of a written report on county board
meeting. A copy of the report is
available to be viewed in the town office.
Ward 2 representative was not present.

7.Chairman
Johnson reported that the budget for road repairs has been mostly spent for the
year because of spending on the Fitzgerald Dam Road project. Ryan Siemers reported that Northwoods Lane
still needs paving, but it cannot be done until utility work proposed for
spring 2018 is finished.

8.Trout
unlimited Wolf River chapter has granted $2000 toward the Fitzgerald Dam Road project. All needed materials are now on site. The
road will be closed and work begun in a matter of days.

9.A
motion was made by Ryan Siemers, seconded by Gary Johnson, to revise Fire
Department ordinance to cover both FD and EMS.
Note that their financial reports need to be turned in to the Clerk and
Treasurer within 7 days. Rewrite so language is clear and understandable.
Motion Carried.

10.A motion
was made by Ryan Siemers, seconded by Jeff McKinney that the policy regarding
accounts payable is that department heads will stop in the office once weekly
to review bills for their respective areas and ascertain that they are
legitimate and should be paid.

It was noted that there are
difficulties with the current accounting system, CIVIC. It is a complex system that is suitable for
large municipalities, but is much more than we need and very expensive. It was noted that newer versions of Quickbooks
have addressed the concerns that caused the town to go to CIVIC. A motion was made by Ryan Siemers and
seconded by Mr. Johnson to purchase Quickbooks now and to begin implementation
so it will be in place and fully adopted by Jan. 1, 2018. Motion carried.

11.There was
no action needed on zoning.

12. Correspondence
was a Department of Administration Local Government Report

13. A motion to adjourn was made by Ryan Siemers, seconded by Gary Johnson. Motion carried. The meeting was adjourned at 7:25 pm.
